2 1 <br /> The intent of AS Agricultural Services zoning <br /> district is to provide for rural non-farm, non- <br /> residential uses which support horticultural- <br /> silvacultural uses. The application criteria <br /> state that an AS district will usually be applied <br /> where the following conditions exist: <br /> 1. The site is within areas designated by. the <br /> adopted Comprehensive Plan as Agricultural- <br /> Residential. No change in the Comprehensive <br /> Plan is required. <br /> 2. The lot size for individual uses would be <br /> appropriate to the water supply and sewage <br /> disposal. <br /> 3. Normally, the maximum amount of land zoned AS <br /> at any location shall not exceed ten acres. <br /> There are 17 uses permitted by right in the AS <br /> Zoning District. Two require approval of a Class <br /> A Special Use Permit, and four require approval of <br /> a Class B Special Use Permit. Any of these uses, <br /> either by right or with special conditions, could <br /> be allowed on the proposed zoning lot. These uses <br /> are listed in the attached General Information <br /> Memorandum. <br /> Information from White Cross Fire Department, the <br /> Sheriff's Department, and 911 Services has been <br /> received indicating that uses permitted in an AS <br /> zoning district can be served in this location. <br /> November 27, 1995 Public Hearing Comments <br /> Concern over uses permitted in the AS district, <br /> particularly warehousing, was expressed by the <br /> owner and a tenant of the White Cross School <br /> There was also concern about additional commercial <br /> uses in the White Cross Activity Node. <br /> Comments were also received regarding <br /> Environmental Health approval of a septic system <br /> on the proposed zoning lot for the used furniture <br /> store on the .11-acre NC-2 zoning lot at the <br /> intersection. The Zoning Ordinance does not <br /> provide for installation of a septic system on <br /> property lot zoned for the use served by the <br /> septic system. Since the furniture store located <br /> on the NC-2 zoning district would not be permitted <br /> in the AR or AS zoning districts, then the <br /> installation of the septic system for the <br /> furniture store in the AR or AS district is in <br /> violation of the Zoning Ordinance. <br />
